Aquifer Properties - Feature Description
Definition: A measured or calculated physical or hydraulic property of an aquifer such as hydraulic conductivity, Transmissivity, Storativity, porosity, effective porosity, Specific Yield (drainable porosity) and Retention (non-drainable porosity), Specific Capacity (it is well parameter), etc. usually measured at a well or series of wells (based on
Heath 1983, Freeze & Cherry 1979, Fetter 2001) (it can be also measured in laboratory on base of aquifer samples)
Properties:
- Transmissivity (t)
- Hydraulic Conductivity (K)
- Storage Coefficient (S)
- Specific Storage Coefficient (Ss)
- Porosity (n)
- Effective Porosity
- Retention
- Storativity
- Specific Yield
